The Nature of Money as Trust

Money serves as a protocol for trust in economic exchanges, extending human rationality into the material domain. It is more than just a physical object; it reflects the value that individuals and societies assign to it. This social construct enables collaboration, allowing individuals to work towards shared goals without the direct exchange of goods or services. As demonstrated in a personal anecdote from a gathering, trust emerges as the real currency, illustrating that underlying relationships and social agreements shape the very essence of money.
